PHASE II COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION IN 2018

  • 70,000 tonne bulk sample completed, positive results de-risk move to commercial production
  • 30,000 tonne Phase I Commercial Production underground mine development completed
  • 40,000 tonne stockpile on surface, ready to feed mill commissioning, augment production
  • NI 43-101 Resource Report to include drill results at the Sugar and Middle Zones currently underway
  • Updated PEA will include new resource model and mine plan also underway

 Geology: Drilling in 2017 confirmed continuity, mineralized widths and modelled grades  Mining: Long-hole mining, minimal dilution  Processing: Simple metallurgy and high recoveries  Costs: Mining costs confirmed, capital items contracted and / or paid  Site: Underground and site infrastructure, 20km all weather access road

Surface construction well advanced, mill building scheduled for completion end of January

PROPERTY WIDE EXPLORATION

SEVERAL ZONES SHOWING HIGH POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT MINERALIZATION

  • Lynx Zone

► On strike, characteristics similar to Sugar and

Middle zones

  • Moose Zone

► Host rock similar to Barrick’s Hemlo mine

  • K7 Zone

► New zone discovered, anomalous gold

intersected 200 meters below surface

  • Eagle Zone

► Property wide 2017 geophysics identified strong

electromagnetic anomaly with VMS potential

  • Marten Zone

► IP anomaly featurs host rock similar to Barrick’s

Hemlo mine

  • Fisher Zone

► Initial drill program intersected 40 meters of

anomalous gold on strike with the Sugar Zone Scale
